IM- The timing was somewhat intentional. I had my doubts about the relationship early on in my sobriety- and maybe even before. But I wanted to wait and see who 'sober me' really was. I did kind of have the one year 'rule' in my head the whole time.
Part of it was just coincidence though- I started to feel like not doing something about it was holding me back with a lot of things. I was spending my time thinking about how I needed to break up with my boyfriend rather than doing things with my life.
